Best laptop for finance/banking

I currently have a MacBook Pro and it is horrible for looking at financial websites, such as; Yahoo finance, Market watch, etc etc.. It constantly has to reload the page and you are normally kicked from the site. Just interested to see what brand/ model laptops everyone is using, either in school or if you’re currently working for a bank.

"jjt0407" I currently have a MacBook Pro and it is horrible for looking at financial websites, such as; Yahoo finance, Market watch, etc etc..

Sounds like more of a browser issue. What are you using?

MM banks seem to have Lenovos, but they are terrible. I like my Surface Pro, but its computing power is more limited. It travels so well though.

 

Browser issues aside, MacBooks version of Excel is subpar to Windows. You can go the boot camp/parallels route if necessary.

Personally love my Surface Pro 6, can handle 95%+ of the work I throw at it and is easily the most convenient and sleek laptop to carry around. However it can be dodgy when I’m using giant datasets or using thread intensive files. I have a desktop at home for the heavy lifting
